Chapter 24 Spell Exchange, Underwater Breathing
"To be honest, I became a wizard apprentice not just ten days ago."
"But it was three years ago!"
If you think about it carefully, three years ago, not long after Luo Ang went to the Beacon of Prosperity to study, he had already completed the awakening of his bloodline.
—Although Loon had not yet completed his meditation at that time, he was already considered a first-class wizard apprentice from that point onward.
Moreover, from that time onward, in order not to arouse the old man's suspicion, Loen has been maintaining his daily meditation.
Therefore, after Loon truly became a first-class wizard apprentice, his mental strength improved by leaps and bounds. In addition to his own talent, the more important reason was that his three years of accumulation finally came to fruition after completing meditation.
"However, even if we consider a three-year period, the rate at which my mental strength has increased has surpassed that of the Crimson Wizard before me."
When he left the Beacon of Prosperity, Loon's mental strength was just over eight points.
But now, only a little over ten days have passed since we left the lighthouse, and the ninth ring of patterns on the Seed of Soul and the Seed of Body has already begun to appear.
"At this rate, I should be able to raise my mental strength to level nine in at most two months."
"And going from nine to ten, even if there are some hurdles along the way, it might only take a year or two."
Luo Ang thought optimistically.
"Judging from this, my talent should be pretty good."
"If that's the case, then I might be able to give it a try to become a fourth-level wizard apprentice and independently open a teleportation array to go to the central continent."
Luo Ang couldn't help but think.
He was not a wizard of any school, and it was clear that he could not go to the Central Continent by relying on the school's guidance.
Therefore, he could only choose the most difficult path.
Moreover, there's an old saying in my hometown: "Aim high and you'll get somewhere in the middle; aim low and you'll get nowhere." Setting your goals high isn't a bad thing.
However, the problem now is how to persuade the Crimson Wizard in front of him.
The Scarlet Wizard has been a wizarding apprentice for over seven years—based on the knowledge she possesses, she had interacted with many wizarding apprentices before Loon.
In terms of talent, she couldn't compare to Loon, but in terms of knowledge about the wizarding world, she far surpassed Loon.
There are no traces of the extraordinary in my hometown—but those ancestors who also pursued the extraordinary have left behind their experiences in doing so.
Dharma couple's wealth.
The methods, of course, need no further mention—the wizard's meditation and various spells are examples.
Loen has no shortage of this quality.
The wealth—the seven spell scrolls, five magic stones, and over two hundred magic stone fragments in Luo Ang's hands—is also a considerable fortune, enough to support his cultivation for a long time.
A "partner" is someone who can walk the path of a wizard together and discuss wizarding knowledge with each other.
And the 'ground' that allows him to cultivate in peace without worrying about all sorts of messy influences.
But that's exactly what Loen lacked.
The existence of the Crimson Wizard perfectly fills the gap between 'partner' and 'land'.
Most importantly, this Crimson Wizard was not as sinister and scheming as the old man from the Beacon of Prosperity; on the contrary, he was rather simple and easy to deal with.
As he pondered, Luo Ang's voice rang out once again.
"Sir Crimson Wizard, besides a contract, perhaps we have another way of making a deal."
"Knowledge of magic is far too precious."
"A vague and ethereal contract is not commensurate with the value of this spell."
"So, how about spell for spell?"
"Spell for spell?" The Crimson Wizard's face showed extreme surprise.
She wasn't surprised that Loon possessed knowledge of magic.
After all, orthodox wizards include the transmission of magic in their lineage.
The reason she never brought up the exchange of spells with Loen was because the 'ownership' of spells differed between school wizards and wild wizards.
The spells that a wild wizard acquires, whether incomplete or problematic, belong to him or her. He can give them away or use them for exchange if he wants.
However, the ownership of the spells learned by a wizard from another school does not belong to the wizard, but to the school itself.
Unless permitted by the school, no wizard of any school will use its spells as a "bargaining chip" in transactions with outsiders.
"Isn't Thunder Wizard afraid of the school's pursuit?" Crimson Wizard frowned.
The highest level of power in this plane is only a third-class wizard apprentice—and even within a school of wizards, a third-class wizard apprentice wouldn't stay in this plane for long.
In fact, a second-class wizard apprentice is already among the top powers in this plane.
Even so, no wizarding apprentices went to cause trouble for those schools or tried to seize resources from them.
Why? Is it because these wizard apprentices are kind?
of course not!
The real reason is that in this plane, every school of thought has at least one offensive spell passed down through generations!
That's not a spell-like ability.
It is a true, offensive level zero spell.
With this spell, wizards from those schools could easily kill other wizard apprentices—even wild wizards at the third-class apprentice level wouldn't dare to provoke second-class apprentices who had mastered offensive spells.
"The spell I possess is not bound by any particular school of thought," Loen said in a deep voice.
"Really?" Upon hearing Lo Ang's words, the Crimson Wizard's eyes suddenly lit up with a shimmering and intense light.
For a wizard, magic is what truly sustains them.
Meditation can give them power.
But such power can only be fully unleashed through magic!
Without magic as a means of support, the only thing a wizard can be proud of is his immense life force—it allows them to live, but it doesn't earn them the awe they deserve.
In addition, each spell has its own unique characteristics and its own applicable scope.
Therefore, every wizard has an insatiable thirst for magic.
Some wizards, because they possess so many spells, even create a spellbook to record the spells they have learned, lest they forget them.
"Would I lie about something like this?"
"That's true." The Crimson Wizard nodded, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face. "No wizard would lie about something like this."
"I was being paranoid. I hope Thunder Wizard can forgive my offense."
After apologizing, the Scarlet Wizard continued to speak.
"The spell I want to use to communicate with the Thunder Wizard is called Underwater Breathing."
"This spell allows people to breathe freely underwater."
"I wonder what kind of spell Thunder Wizard is using?" Crimson Wizard asked.
"The spells I possess..." Loen pondered for a moment.
He was also pondering which of the eight spells he possessed should be used in the exchange.
But a moment later, Loen made a decision.
